On November 22, early in the morning, Guiping Pass.

Taking advantage of the morning light and wading with the dew, the 80,000 coalition forces walked forward on the undulating mountain road.

In front of Guiping Pass, there is a long and narrow mountain road, winding and twisting, and a thousand twists and turns. Eighty thousand troops are arranged in a row, stretching for dozens of miles, and they can't see the end at a glance, making people feel nervous.

The army moving forward firmly is like a black dragon, winding and hovering among the mountains and green waters.

At first glance, it actually has a strange beauty.

Who knows that this is a tiger and wolf army that chooses people and is a group of cold-blooded killers with firm will.

Walking at the forefront of the army was the entire array of sword and shield soldiers. They would be the main force to attack the pass. Behind them were rows of archer phalanxes and crossbowman phalanxes.

Because the mountain road is rugged, the coalition forces were unable to carry large siege equipment, but they were carrying rows of simple ladders. Occasionally, there were several heavy giant siege woods.

The end of the army was more than 10,000 elite cavalry.

In the middle of the cavalry formation, there was a middle-aged general, especially conspicuous, with sword-browed eyebrows, starry eyes, a firm expression, wearing a red robe and silver armor, a gilded helmet, and the war horse under his crotch was unusual at first glance.

This middle-aged general was the commander of the coalition forces responsible for attacking Guiping Pass this time, and was also the commander of the 200,000 coalition forces - Li Mu, a famous general of the Warring States Period.

Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State during the Warring States Period, was known as the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States Period" together with Bai Qi, Wang Jian and Lian Po. During the Battle of Changping, Li Mu was only a good general on the northern border of Zhao State.

It was not until the end of the Warring States Period that Li Mu shined.

Li Mu first fought against the Xiongnu on the northern border of Zhao State; later, he mainly resisted Qin State, and was severely damaged by the Qin army in the Battle of Yi'an, and was awarded the title of Wu'an Jun. In 229 BC, King Zhao was caught in the Qin State's plan of alienation, believed in slander and seized Li Mu's military power, and soon killed Li Mu.

The designer of the plan of disagreement was Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals.

Needless to say, Li Mu is really a famous general who should not be underestimated.

With Li Mu's appearance, all the four famous generals of the Warring States Period finally appeared in the wilderness. Bai Qi served in Shanhai City, Wang Jian was under the command of Qin Shihuang, and Lian Po was under the command of Di Chen. As for Li Mu's lord, it is still a mystery for the time being.

I only know that it is a certain lord in the coalition.

It is no wonder that there are such generals in the coalition. They were able to capture more than half of Guilin County in just three days, and there were almost no decent obstacles.

You must know that even if you want to gallop across Guilin County, it will probably take three or four days. This is because Guilin County is narrow from east to west and narrow from north to south.

Li Mu stared at the fortress in the distance, thinking about something.

The scene in front of him was obviously a bit beyond Li Mu's expectations.

First of all, Li Mu did not expect that a large number of troops were stationed in the pass. Logically speaking, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has surrendered, and neither the Taiping Army nor the Shanhaicheng Army had any reason to stop at the pass.

If there really is a large army, why not enter Guilin County?

Everything is a mystery.

After all, few people are afraid that Ouyang Shuo’s “good intentions” can be known.

Second, Li Mu did not expect that the enemy seemed to have known their existence long ago.

The information system of Shanhai City is really impressive.

From this, Li Mu also thought of one thing: Since the fortress defenders have received the news, the Shanhaicheng garrison in Xunzhou County is probably already received the news at this time, right?

Maybe the reinforcements from Shanhai City are already on the way to reinforcements.

From this, it is urgent to capture Guiping Pass. Because once the reinforcements from Shanhai City arrive, with the dangers of Guiping Pass, Li Mu really has no confidence to take down this pass in one fell swoop.

"The military advisor's plan seems to have changed."

Li Mu murmured to himself, but his eyes became more and more firm. No variable could prevent the coalition from achieving its strategic goals: Guiping Pass must be won!

Although Li Mu is best at cavalry warfare, he is also unambiguous about siege and siege.

When we meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win.

************

Inside the fortress and above the city walls.

When the 80,000 coalition forces appeared on the mountain road in front of Guiping Pass, they would face a iron-blooded army that was ready to defend the pass to the death.

At this moment, the blood in Shan Man's body suddenly boiled.

In this battle, they will fight for the new [Barbar King], proving their loyalty and courage.

All failures and shames will be washed with the blood of the enemy.

Military achievements are always the greatest honor of warriors.

The old minister Pei Ju stood in the middle of the city, staring at the army in the distance, but his expression was solemn. The number of enemy troops was somewhat beyond his expectations.

When can a full ten times the army hold on?

In addition to Guiping Pass, Pei Ju is concerned about another level - Xuanwu Pass.

But he was no longer able to help Xuanwu Pass.

In fact, the two passes are not together, and are hundreds of miles apart.

Therefore, what Pei Ju can do is to try to protect the main pass of Guiping Pass. Pei Ju did not completely give up Xuanwu Pass, and did not transfer the five thousand barbarian soldiers stationed in Xuanwu Pass.

After all, if Xuanwu Pass did not garrison one soldier and the enemy would take Xuanwu Pass without any effort, they could even take a detour to Xunzhou County and catch Guiping Pass off guard.

Therefore, neither Guiping Pass nor Xuanwu Pass could be easily lost. These two passes can be regarded as two important gateways north of Shanhailing at this time.

Once the portal is opened, it will be a great decay.

“Woo~~~”

Accompanied by the low horn sound, the battle suddenly started without any signs.

The two sides did not provoke in front of the battlefield, nor did they accuse each other or verbal wars.

The two armies have entered the most intense and tragic offensive and defensive battle since the beginning.

Pei Ju's confidence in defending Guiping Pass was, one was the strength of the mountain barbarian warriors, and the other was the narrow level, which was not conducive to the coalition's large-scale attack.

Therefore, the coalition forces only have a huge army, but the troops they can invest within a unit of time are limited.

As the saying goes, one man should be the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

The clutch of the pass is not just a talk.

What we have to test now is the will and combat power of the Eight Thousand Mountain Barbarians. They must support them under the continuous attacks of the enemy and cannot be discouraged at all.

Once the mountain barbarians become tired, the defense line will reveal flaws, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

The dull shouts of killing echoed in the quiet mountains.

Every moment, someone is buried in the battlefield.

A group of coalition forces were sent to the front line by Li Mu and fell down one after another.

The strength of the mountain barbarian soldiers made all the coalition soldiers look at him.

The defense line formed by the Eight Thousand Mountain Barbarians was harvesting the lives of the coalition soldiers efficiently and orderly, like the god of death.

The soldiers looked cold and looked fanatical.

The commander of the mountain barbarians, Shi Hu, led the way and killed the enemy with the most courageous.

These mountain barbarians seem to be born for war, and no enemy will let them take a step back.

For a whole morning, the coalition forces launched five waves of fierce attacks, and they were all defeated. At the foot of the Guiping Pass city wall, there were already a meter-high corpse.

Similarly, under the baptism of arrow rain, the mountain barbarian warriors on the city wall also suffered heavy losses.

If the mountain barbarians are strong, they are strong, which means they are too brave and do not know how to adapt. When they kill the enemy, they do not know how to protect themselves and are killed by the rain of arrows all over the sky.

More than a thousand mountain barbarian soldiers are buried in Guiping Pass forever.

It was already noon, and Li Mu didn't want to leave any breathing opportunity for Shan Man.

The army that was raising energy replaced the wounded remnants and launched a fierce attack on Guiping Pass continuously.

The speed of switching between front and rear troops is amazing.

The barbarian soldiers on the city wall had only time to drink water and swallow a cold steamed bun. The dense enemy troops rushed to the city again through ladders.

"Brothers, kill!"

Shi Hu swallowed the last bite of steamed bun, in advance of the Tang sword, turned around and waved it, chopped off the head of a coalition soldier, sprinkling a long bloodline in the air.

The blood splattered onto the steamed buns in the hands of the mountain barbarian warriors. The soldiers didn't care at all, and they didn't even wipe them, and they swallowed them directly with blood into their stomachs.

How could the bloody style planted in the Chiyou era be easily erased?

Seeing this, all the soldiers of the coalition were shocked.

The enemy in front of you is not so much a group of evil ghosts from hell.

Before fighting, be cowardly.

However, the horns of the attack were endless.

The coalition soldiers could only grit their teeth and fight with these "evil ghosts".

This battle made the world look disgusted.

The red clouds above Guiping Pass formed a huge vortex and slowly rotated. The endless blood and murderous aura flowed into the blood-colored vortex, which was very terrifying.
